some maintenance can not be done without what? spools? or a stand?

pic looks like its resting right on the swing arm, and would therefore allow me to remove the rear wheel as far as i can tell.

also, think i am confussed as to what a spoll actually is. where do they go lol, guys i thought they would be on either side of the wheel like where you bolt it on.
